Hi, we currently have our front page layout broken down into categories. However, we would like to change over to the portfolio layout. What is the easiest way to do this? Is there a way to do this without having to re-create or move all our category posts over to become portfolio posts?
Is there also a way to move our current categories into the portfolio categories?
Create a new thread and tell me what problems you are encountering and what you want to know. 
There is no step 3 :)
